Different sides of the same coin? I need to back up a step. The reality is that most non-photographer people look at images and have an initial reaction. They're not doing it with a critical eye, in the same way that I can watch a movie for pure entertainment. I have a friend that fanices himself "in the movie business". He pans some of my favorite movies over the directing, etc. I hate some of the ones he likes. It's probaby the same forces at work. Here, though, and other photo forums, where people generally fancy themselves knowledgeable regarding photography, I agree. For my part, when I see crap over and over, I start ignoring it. If I see a piece of dog s**t on the sidewalk I may kick it to the street, but after a while my shoe starts to stink, and I'm more likely simply to avoid it.
